Reclaimed Water Use Master Plan Reclaimed Water Use Master Plan

The City of Casa Grande updated its Wastewater Master Plan in 2006 (Carollo Engineers). The plan calls for expansion of the Kortsen Road Water Reclamation Plant to 12 million gallons per day (MGD) capacity by 2009 and upgrading the treatment level to A+ quality water suitable for open-access irrigation uses, and planning for water reclamation plant expansion at or near the existing plant site to accommodate the estimated buildout wastewater flows of 50 MGD. The plan also called for development of a plan to maximize use of available reclaimed water in the future. This Reclaimed Water Use Conceptual Master Plan builds on the Carollo master plan.

 

The project was a joint planning effort between the City of Casa Grande and Arizona Water Company (AWC). AWC provided in-kind services related to engineering analysis, mapping, and support services.


The objectives of this project are to:


-Provide a high level analysis of the reclaimed water use alternatives available for implementation within the planning area.

-Evaluate the potential costs, benefits, technical challenges, regulatory issues, and financing alternatives for effluent reuse options.

-Provide a recommended implementation action plan, including system funding alternatives.

-Discuss and provide a potential framework for a Memorandum of Understanding between Casa Grande and Arizona Water Company designed to facilitate reclaimed water use within the service area.

-Identify additional engineering, hydrologic, and financial analyses required.

Wastewater Feasibilty Study Wastewater Feasibilty Study

This Summary Report discusses the evaluations conducted under the Wastewater Feasibility Study project intended to further the selected Option 4 as defined in the City of Casa Grande (City) Wastewater Master Plan (Carollo, 2006). The feasibility study is organized into separate technical memoranda, intended to address items that were not discussed in detail in the Master Plan. This feasibility study also serves to further identify various wastewater infrastructure expansion improvements and the potential timing of these capital improvement projects.

 

In order to report the results and conclusions of the feasibility study, a series of Technical Memoranda (TMs or individually as TM) were produced by Carollo Engineers and submitted individually to the City for review. The full detailed TMs can be downloaded with their respective links.
